Lucas Home!
Dear Family & Friends, Thank you so much for your prayers and messages.

It's so hard to not imagine the worst, and am still trying to relax after getting home. Lucas is in really good spirits despite his coughing. We've had a slew of appointments this last month and added on a couple of diagnosis with little Lucas. Audiology - mild hearing loss in his left ear (which may get better as he gets older). They said it most likely has to do with his ear anatomy that is likely retaining fluid which impairs hearing. Nutrition (Feeding) Specialist - he had a swallow study done a couple weeks ago. He is aspirating slightly when he eats, which is the smallest amount of liquid getting into his lungs. So the solution is to thicken his food. Interesting for sure, but it works! This, however, is disappoint
